Wei Yan’s thoughts

"Regarding the pricing for the units, let's set it at 50,000 per square meter. It should be fine to have some fluctuations based on the floor level."

Chen Mo said indifferently. Since his goal was to ensure they wouldn't sell, he naturally had to set the price higher.

He had initially thought about setting an astronomical price, but the system simply didn't allow him to do so.

And a price of around 50,000 was already the highest range allowed by the system.

He had also looked into the nearby housing prices, which were generally around 6,000. A Room at 50,000 was essentially standing out from the crowd; it was unlikely anyone would be willing to purchase one.

"50,000 per square meter!"

Mei Yun was stunned for a moment and did a quick calculation in his mind.

A unit of over 200 square meters at 50,000 per square meter—that meant the price for one unit would be over 10 million!

Would anyone actually buy this!

Mei Yun thought to himself, but then a different thought crossed his mind.

If it were actually built as General Manager Chen described, selling it for 50,000 per square meter seemed quite reasonable, at least in terms of being able to trust the quality.

Hmm!

If it were really built, he could perhaps have his family purchase one or two units here.

Living there himself or for future investment seemed quite good.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing Mei Yun exclaim in surprise, Chen Mo asked curiously.

"No problem, General Manager Chen."

Mei Yun hurriedly replied.

"Since there's no problem, go ahead and handle it as soon as possible. The funds will be transferred to the company's account very soon."

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and waved his hand.

"Very well, General Manager Chen."

Mei Yun walked quickly out of the office. He glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon. Thinking of the food he had eaten at the company cafeteria that morning, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

That kind of food could only be found in star-rated hotels.

But he couldn't go to star-rated hotels to eat every day. The employees at Mingri Group were truly fortunate to be able to eat star-rated hotel-level food every day.

Mei Yun sighed with emotion.

Since it was almost twelve o'clock, he might as well head to the Tomorrow Cafeteria for lunch.

Thinking this, after getting off the elevator, he headed straight toward the Tomorrow Cafeteria.

Entering the cafeteria, it was still 10 minutes until 12 o'clock, so there were no employees inside yet.

He skillfully took out a sanitized tray, served himself a meal, and casually found a table to sit at.

A few minutes later, there was some commotion at the cafeteria entrance, and four or five figures walked in.

Mei Yun took a look; they were several managers from the subsidiaries of Mingri Group. He had chatted with them the last time he ate here, and they were all very nice and enthusiastic people.

Not long after, the group finished getting their food, noticed him, and walked over.

"This time… I should call you Manager Mei, right?"

Li Shen carried his tray and sat down opposite Mei Yun.

At the same time, Wei Yan, Fang Chang, and the others also sat down not far away, casually exchanging greetings.

"It's thanks to General Manager Chen's appreciation. Please bear with me in the future."

Mei Yun replied politely.

Ever since the construction company was registered, he had become the manager of the construction company.

The next day, he was added to a group chat. Through observation, he realized that the people in this group were all managers from the various companies under Mingri Group.

"Why be so polite? As managers of Mingri Group, it is only right that we help each other."

Wei Yan said slowly with a smile.

"Exactly. In our Mingri Group, we do not encourage backstabbing. Everyone needs to help one another to create a good working environment for Mingri Group."

Wu Yu chimed in from the side.

"By the way, now that the construction company is registered, shouldn't you be doing preparatory work to start construction?"

Wei Yan asked.

"Yes, it's basically settled. I need to handle some formalities, and then we can start construction."

Mei Yun swallowed a mouthful of rice and said calmly.

The formalities were very easy to handle. It was originally an unfinished building that no one wanted to take over. Now that he was stepping in to take it over, no one would stall his process regarding the paperwork.

Some people might even specifically help him to ensure he completes the formalities more smoothly.

These things had already been hinted at by the people there while he was in the process of learning about the unfinished building.

Therefore, he had no worries regarding the handling of the formalities.

"I see. Didn't we say last time that if it were a real estate project by General Manager Chen, we would definitely support it? When the project opens for sales, remember to notify us. I'll go buy a unit then."

"Living in a project invested in by General Manager Chen, there will absolutely be no problems with quality; it's reassuring to live in."

Wei Yan said with a smile.

His own house had been bought 7 years ago, and now it was time to change to a new one.

After all, his income had increased a lot now. His wife had also joined Mingri Group a long time ago and was currently working in an administrative role. After several salary adjustments, plus various benefits and subsidies, she was earning about 10,000 per month.

Currently, their combined monthly salary was over 40,000.

This didn't even include the rewards from occasional activities, such as the quarterly sports meet. If he and his wife participated once, they would usually bring in about 20,000.

Then there were the annual project bonuses, the thirteenth-month salary, year-end bonuses, and other rewards.

Now, they simply couldn't spend all this money, so they might as well use a portion of it to improve their quality of life.

Hearing Wei Yan's words, Mei Yun paused his eating and slowly looked up at Wei Yan.

"General Manager Wei, you said you want to purchase a unit built by General Manager Chen."

"That's right!"

Wei Yan nodded.

"I think you should reconsider this matter."

Mei Yun lightly moved his lips and gave Wei Yan a serious look.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Wei Yan noticed Mei Yun's gaze and felt that something was off.

"The problem isn't big, it's just that the houses built by General Manager Chen are a bit expensive."

"What price?"

"Hmm…"

Mei Yun thought for a moment and slowly explained General Manager Chen's requirements for the construction of the property.

Listening to Mei Yun's account, the eyes of Wei Yan, Li Shen, and the others gradually filled with shock.

They hadn't expected the price of the project built by General Manager Chen to be this high.

One elevator per household, with only a 200+ square meter layout.

The price to purchase one in full would require about 10 million in funds.

10 million!

At this price, given their current net worth, it seemed they couldn't afford it.

There was silence at the dining table.

After a while, Li Shen suddenly came back to his senses and said slowly.

"General Manager Chen's project is very good, and such pricing is also very reasonable. I just calculated it carefully, and I think we can afford to buy it, but we would need a loan."

"Furthermore, the construction of the project will certainly take time. Coupled with General Manager Chen's requirements for high quality in these projects, I think it will take at least a year and a half. During this time, our savings will likely have accumulated to a certain level."

"At that time, we can pay a down payment and then use our housing provident fund to repay the loan."
